Neal,
I had the same issues with my KT133 (Via) board. I tried everything
including a run around with Via and never did get AGP stable. My
solution was a new board. I went to an Nforce2 based board and an
AthlonXP2100.
Brett,
The framerate drop at full screen is normal. The amount of drop depends
on your screen resolution. I'm running 1920x1440 at the moment and
framerate drops from 5820 F/sec to 210 F/sec when I maximize the
window. Overclocking the card with NVclock (core and memory + 10%) give
me 6270 and 230 F/sec.glxgears
